National Coffee Day

I don't know how I missed this one. Better believe it's on my calendar for next year already.

Who decides these things anyway? I thought every day was National Coffee Day. I know I sure as heck celebrate it every day - although not exactly on a nationwide scale.

Indyposted provided the image, as well as 10 Coffee Facts for National Coffee Day.

An Island Called Liberty

My nephew's having a baby. To be truthful, it's his wife who's having the baby but you know what I mean. He used to live with us, this nephew, so I've heard him express his many views, political or otherwise. And, believe me, he has some pretty strong views. Since then, I've been wishing that someday he would have a house full of pretty, pink girls, all silly and giggly, and Democrats to boot.

Ultrasound today reveals they are having a boy so all I can hope for now is a commie Leftist.

Alas, he's already picking out his son's literature.
…adults will enjoy the strong message that speaks in favor of free markets and against excessive government regulation, bureaucracy, and taxation.

What good fun!

Plus, its fun to read your progressive friends and watch them self-destruct trying to deflect the obvious results of their failed attempts to control and manipulate the lives of free men.

Due date is Valentine's Day.

What's The Point?

I show up to work today - relatively close to "on time" - and there's a line at the coffee maker! Okay, these things happen but then when I finally get my cup of coffee, the computer crashes. What was the point of coming to work again?

So, here I am, goofing off - just after I got finished explaining to my supervisors that I promise to keep my goofing off to goofing off time....

That didn't last long.

Channeling Audrey Hepburn, Almost


Wore my hair in a high french twist, pearls, large sunglasses, and a scarf to cover protect my coif. Dropped the top, and drove the Z to work today.

In the cup holder - C's bottle full of milk for nap time later this afternoon. (His, not mine.) So elegant. So practical.

Lynn C Dot's Little Book of Photos

The book arrived and I'm very excited about it. I think it turned out even better than expected. If you haven't already previewed it, check out the Photos page. (Link at top of page.)

Autumn Leaves

What's that all about? I was driving around today and saw leaves. Falling. From trees. Wasn't it Summer just like yesterday?

What ever happened to Summer? Didn't it just started the day before yesterday? Before you know it, it'll be Christmas or some such thing.

Apocalypse

This is what's in my survival kit:
  • Shopping cart
  • Gun
  • Sunglasses
Okay, all I really have are the sunglasses. But I've seen the moving The Book of Eli and read The Road by Coumac McCarthy and that seems to be the essential list of survival gear.

Book of Eli is interesting visually, if nothing else. A modern Western, it makes interesting use of color. (Actually, the lack thereof.)

Joe

The first cup of coffee in the morning is like a first love. The second isn't quite as good somehow - not as sweet, decadent, satisfying. All others that follow are compared to the first and never measure up. When the first one is gone, one longs for it and assumes taking another will fill the longing but it never does. No, it never does.

Seeing the empty cup reminds one of the time together, shared in quiet moments, intimate mornings. Oh, the longing for night for afterwards is another First Cup of Coffee.

Yoga Bare

That's what I call my bikram yoga studio that gets so hot you have to take your clothes off.

Sand Wench

That's what I call my sand sculpture of a woman hoisting beer steins.
